Horses were introducted to this part of the world mainly by the Spaniards. The first ones came with the Conquerors and after that, and thanks to these great plains, the horse became the best friend to the man in the new world.
Through this mixture of civilizations the Argentine horses -named criollos- became the best transportation for the new Argentine thanks to its tireless endurance.
In the first quarter of the past century Argentine cattle barons purchased from England and France the best thoroughbred horses of that moment, champions from England like Diamond Jubelee and Cyllene among many others that placed Argentina as an important thoroughbred horse breeder country.
Many Argentine bred horses won important races around the globe, about which we´ll later inform in this blog .
Criollos, plus the best English Thoroughbred, became an explosive coctail to create the Argentine polo horses, but a patient and passionate love of Argentine horsemen for these horses gave the secret element for this worldly known success.
Darwin, Tesio and other talented connoisseurs came to this country and saw the vast Pampas and their people. Be a part of this incredible journey for horse lovers.

Coming soon

This blog will place you in the Argentine Pampas, one of the most extensive plains in the world where these horses are raised in the most natural way.

Argentina is a horse country, you will see in this page how these horses are bred for these sports.

Next Kentucky Derby another Argentine presence

As the last year a new presence of argentine stallion blood will run in the Next Saturday Kentucky Derby, with Candy Rides's son Sidney's Candy.

With the recent injuries, in my opinion it could be written history next saturday to see the first argentine stallion son to win the roses.

This is a great pleasure for all true lovers of this extraordinary horse to see a son of him be as great as he was, in my past articules, I told that Candy Ride was the best horse I ever saw, here in Argentina.

The Kentucky Derby could be sawn at the Hipodromo de Palermo Racetrack, in Buenos Aires, in its full HD gigant screen, live at 7.24 PM (Buenos Aires time), next Saturday May 1st. .
